Sometimes you have to take the time
To realize how truly blessed you are
Sometimes you have to make the effort
To learn how to forgive yourself
You will never be perfect
You will always make mistakes
The mistakes of your past
May have haunted you for many years
It is time to let that go
It is time to forgive yourself
It is time to enjoy breathing
Time to begin living
Forgiveness is not easy
No matter who the subject is
Oddly enough, forgiving one’s self
Can be the most difficult of all
This is when you should call upon divine power
When you are not enough, He is
When you cannot forgive, He will
When you are sick & tired of being sick & tired
Let Him give you the power to receive the life He wants you to have
You may never finish your to do, or should do list
But if you are too busy laughing, crying, talking or singing
Then that list will pail into the insignificant thing that it really is anyway

Amen Chris! long time no see—everything okay?
🙂 Doing well. I found my self in a strange place at the end of July & needed to step back. It was a difficult, but necessary part of my journey.
Lets just say the poem is very personal, & the realization was late as usual, but timely as always 🙂
I’m doing much better now, will be posting more, but probably not as much as previously, trying to take life a little easier. Enjoy things instead of putting pressure on myself to do things that are supposed to just be fun.
Glad to hear you are doing well now Chris, It’s good to have you back in our midst. You are right to not put so much pressure on yourself and to just have fun with what you do!
Oh!!! It is so good to see you!! And for you to come back with something I needed to hear so very much is a blessing! It is good to see you, Dear Friend. Thank you.
